All About Calico.

The derivation of this word is very in
teresting as of such an ancient date is its
origin. Mrs. Leonowens says in hcI
"Travels in India" that lin the yeal
1893, just ten months and two days after
leaving the port of Lisbon, Vasco da
CANA landed on the coast of Malabar at
Calicut, or more proper, Kale Rhoda,
City of the Black Goddess Calirut was
at that period not only very ancient
seaport. but an extensive territory, which,
stretching along the western coast of
Southern India, reached from Bombay
and the adjacent islands to Cape Comorin.
1t was at an early period so famous for its
weaving and dyeing of cotton cloth that
its name became identified with the
manufactured fabric, whence the name
calico. 1t is now generally admitted that
this ingenious art originated in India in
very remote ages, and from that country
found its way into Egypt. 1t was not
until toward the middle of the seven
tcenth century that calico-printing was in
troduced into Europe. A knowledge of
the art was acquired by some of the SER
wants in the service of the Dutch East
India Company and carried 10 Holland.

Blue.Eyed Scotch Indians.

M. C. La Russo, of Winnipeg, visited
St.Louis the other day and told all about
a peculiarly mixed tribe of Indians, says
the Washington Star. "Along the Red
River Valley" said Mr.. La Russo, lis to
be found one of the most curious popu-
lations to be found in the world. refer
to the half and quarter bands, the de-
scendants of the Scotchmen who came to
this country in the days of the Hudson
Bay Company and their Indians wives.
They present peculiar combination of the
Scotch and Indian types, the dark skin
and high check bones of the Indian, with
the light hair and blue eyes of the Scotch
man. Physically, they are splendid
race, being 1.-the, tall and muscular, and
are the best and most enduring runners l
ever saw, travelling hundreds OF miles
through the woods in the dead of winter
with incredible rapidity. All speak
French. but the Scoth burr is perceptible
in their pronunciation, making their Ian
guagc most remarkable one. They are
famous hunters and trappcrs, and, when
not drunk, very peaceable. They took
no part in the recent uprising in the
Northwest, as they have no affiliations
with the French half-breeds or Indians,
but form a little community by them
selves. As voyagers they are unequaled,
and are the happiest beings I ever saw.
They do not take kindly to life in viii
lagos or towns, and are fast moving away
before the advance of civilization, but l
fear that those who take their places will
not have their virtues"

Advice to Wives.

The following aphorisms were evident
ly written for the Brooklyn Aagastns by
man:
Remember that you are married to
man, and not to god; be prepared for
impcrfections.
Anticipate the discovery by your hus,
band that you are ''only woman" ii
YOU were not he would not care about
you.
Once in while let your husband have
the last word; it will crafty him and be
no particular loss to you.
Let him read the newspaper at break
fast table; it is unsociable, but, then, it
is only a tride, after all, and he likes
it.
Be reasonable; it is great deal to ask
under some circumstances, but do try
reasonable women are rare-be rare.
Let him know more than you do once
in while; it keeps up his self-respect,
and you will be none the worse for ad-
mitting that you are not actually infalli-
bic.
Read something in the papers besides
fashion notes and society columns; have
some knowledge of what is going on in
foreign countries.

The Grccian Pug.

Last summer the girl who did not ar
range her hair so that it hung loose on
the back of her head and looked as II 1t
was about to tumble down any minute
was very much out of the general run OF
New York damsels. That's all over with
now. Fashion has taken classic turn
this time, and the 1feaddress that was in
vogue with the giddy girls of Athens
when Socrates said wise things IS once
more the favorite. The hair is twisted
in pug at the back and drawn smoothly
over the top of the head. If a girl is ia,
vored with a Grccian nose and a good
shaped head it is very becoming. But
very few girls are. That makes no diff
ference, they follow the fashion just the
same. When pert little girl, with
real Philadelphia turn up nose comes
tripping down Broadway with her hair
done up as Helen of Troy probably did
hers, there is very good reason for folks
to laugh.-New York Herald.

Baby Life Among the Apachcs.

Leaning against wagons and buildings
are dozens of little baskets with baby
Apaches sucking their fists therein. The
baskets are of the regular Indian style,
and the poor babies arc strapped and laced
into them tight and snug, nothing show
ing but the round chubby face and two
tiny fists. Some squaws hang their bas-
kets to the saddle horn, because if they
are left standing Oh the ground the dogs
go round and lick the babies faces, much
to the little ones discomfort. One rather
frisky pony, with baby on the horn of
his saddle, wanders from the bunch and
is Immediately surrounded by crowd of
dogs. Their barking starts him to trot.
and with shrek the mother rushes from
her place in the line to catch him. But
the pony doesn't want to be caught, and
from a trot turns to 4 run, and away he
goes-the basket tapping on his side,
only making him run the harder. No
one seems sorry for the poor baby. whose
yells are drowned in the general burst OF
laughter that goes up. Finally the strap
that holds the basket breaks-down
comes poor baby, thump, to the ground.
face down, and the pony, after running a
few more rods is caught by boy, whilst
the distracted mother picks up her I'M

ing the deerskin cover, takes it out to
assure herself it is sound in body after its
rather risky ride and Ocerlaad

The Mesmeric Power.

~ will tell you of an instance of this

was talking about it one day in my office
to party Of friends. They pooh-poohed
it. III bet you suit of clothes, l said
to the greatest agnostic of the lot, that
I'll sell layer Of salt to T at the old

take il from me- The bet was made and
I went directly to T.-'s office. / chat

single word escape me about the bust
ness / had in hand. Yet oil the time 1
concentrated my mind upon this one
thing: You must take this salt; you must
take this salt Then suddenly drew a
prepared contract from my pocket. pc
ter, said, I want you to buy this cargo
of salt from me at those rates. Read this
contract He took it from me mechani-
cally, read it carefully and signed his
name. I then left him and showed the
paper as a proof of my success. But 1
had not been in my Office ten minutes,
and the now thoroughly convinced ag-
nostics were still there, when Peter ap-
peared.
"'Why, H he said, 4 do not
want this salt; I am going out of bust
ness, and, besides, you have sold it to me
far above the ruling rates."
"Of course 1 destroyed the contract
and then explained to him what I had
done. He was thoroughly mystifed.

world he said. AT that rate YOU could
sell cobblestones for gold bearing

Sensations Of the Dead Alive.

DR.. Tanner, the famous faster, says in
a letter TO the New York Herald: l
once intcrrogated a man, who Lad
awakened from trance at the moment
of sepuiture, as to his feelinge while he
thus lay 10 all appearance dead. His
answer was prompt and to the point ::
Have yon ever felt the paralyzing in
tuencc Of terrible nightmare? If YOU
have had such experience You are pre-
pared 10 conceive fccbly of the mental
agonics l endured when / realized that
my friends believed me dead and were
making preparations for my burial.
Once believed there was no hell. Now
I not only believe but possess positive
knowledge. The honrs and days OF
mental Struggle spent in the vain en-
deavor to brake loose from the vicc-like
grasp of this worse than horrible night
mare was hell of torment such as no
tongue or pen could portray"

Eating Contests.

These eating contests, quail or any

Acadian Cloth,

One of the presents sent to the Presi.
dent is worthy of mention. 1t was a
piece of Attakapas Cottonade," O,
Acadian cloth, peculiar fabric made
only in the Attakapas country of South
west Louisiana, and once worn winter
and summer by the Acadian planter of
that region. The material is peculiar, OF
cotton and linen, beautiful blue, and
very thick and heavy. 1t is almost
waterproof, and suit of it will last fo,
years. Since the war it has almost gone
out of use, as the secret of making it be-
longs to the Acadian alone. The cloth
sent to President Cleveland was spun and
woven on the plantation in the parish of
Iberia of old Simonctte lie Blanc, one Of
the patriarchal planters of the Attakapas
region, who has three generations of bis
own descendants living near him. This
venerable gentleman was born under the
French domination, when Louisiana be-
longed to France, and he has seen his
native State under four flags.
